Overcast, though most of the tops were cloud free; no sunshine, a few minutes of light drizzle. Terrain initially damp and slippery, but it improved as the day went on. Not many on the fells, and the car parks had quite a few empty spaces. I was able to work out exactly where I had got the lines wrong a couple of days ago.
Mike, do you take public transport to reach ODG? I've not been there for years as every time I consider it the car parking headache puts me off. In fact, all my recent (last 10 years) visits have been while renting a cottage in the dale.

I also avoid camping there now (at the NT site) as it seems to be a haven for anti-social behavior and thievery, sadly.
